Top Kaikoura Air Tours

Enjoy a 25 minute panoramic scenic flight, with stunning scenic views of the Seaward Kaikoura ranges and a birds eye view of the Kaikoura Peninsula. After take-off, we will climb to approximately 6000 feet to fly past the back of Mount Fyffe for some true mountain flying. Experience views of snowy mountain peaks, a waterfalls or a wild deer if you have sharp vision. Next, overfly Lake Hapuku, which is a direct result of the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Your pilot will then descend towards the Hapuku river mouth and fly along the black sand beach towards the Kaikoura peninsula. Flying around the peninsula, you get to see that it is dotted with resident seals next to the turquoise ocean.

The waters off the coast of Kaikoura play host to some of nature’s most majestic giants: sperm whales. Take in a stunning seascape while keeping an eye out for sperm, blue, and humpback whales; dolphins; orcas; and several other varieties of aquatic mammals on this small-group whale-watching flight over the shimmering waters.
